2016 Map of Lake Clayton

About this map

The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway dominates the southern landscape of this border region, where the Saint Croix River forms the natural boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The area is defined by its intricate wetlands and water systems, including the Kettle River and the braided Kettle River Slough. Settlement patterns are traced by a grid of rural routes such as Old Town Hall Rd and Fire Tower Rd, reflecting the timber and agricultural history of Pine and Burnett counties. Local family and place names are preserved in landmarks like Lake Clayton, Fuhrman Lake, and Bear Creek. The concentration of landing sites like Foxes Landing Rd and Nelsons Landing Rd highlights the river's historic role as a primary artery for transportation and recreation in these north woods.
